Enforcement Agencies — Prelims Strategy

Prelims Strategy

Focus on memorizing specific powers of each agency - ED's 180-day attachment period, FIU-IND's STR collection mandate, CBI's ₹100 crore bank fraud threshold. Learn key sections: PMLA Sections 5 (attachment), 19 (arrest), 24 (reverse burden), 45 (bail conditions).

Remember establishment years and parent ministries. Practice elimination techniques by understanding what each agency cannot do - FIU-IND cannot prosecute, SEBI cannot attach under PMLA. Current affairs integration is crucial - link recent cases to agency powers and procedures.

Create comparison charts for quick revision of jurisdictional boundaries.
